    Cargo Van Load Weight

    Average? I'm guessing about 700-800#. I've hauled as little as a 3 ounce envelope of labels about 500 miles. Or a 5 pound box of fasteners from Laredo to Smyrna, TN (1100 miles). I was also "surprised" by an underestimated mold from El Paso to Portage, MI last summer. I should have refused...

    Bug screen behind grille

    Check the screen section at Lowe's. I saw some a couple of weeks ago that had a little bigger "holes". I would bet they could fix you up and not restrict. They have a few different materials and metals.

    I like to look at it weekly but as I advance in the week. Revenue through "this" load and all miles through "this" load. I usually do that, at least in my head, on every load. Lets face it. It matters not what the loaded rate per mile is if you deadheaded a lot to get there or have to drive...

    Sirius xm

    Like him, or not, he has a huge following. When he was on syndicated radio his following was even higher as he was easily available during the coveted "morning drive". I don't care for him kind if for the same reasons I don't care for Rush Limbaugh. I used to listen to both but after about a...

    Now THAT'S how I feel right now. About to hit the hay for about 8-9 hours of needed sleep. Been busy but deprived the past 4 days. Good night all.

    Hi, we're newbies.

    Yeah, useless as an OO. But it sounded like he had bigger plans. Plus, the LLC is already filed. He'll have it whether, or not, he uses or needs it.

    Good point!!! You are being starved by the same people you used to give that knowing "nod" that refer drivers give each other at truck stops? Like the, "yeah, it's a pain but at least it pays well" nod? Or have all the westbound trucks finally found the eastbound back hauls (and vice versa)...

    Hi, we're newbies.

    Meet with an accountant. Talk about filing your S-corp, if thats your route. BUT, don't move forward until you either have a sales plan or get on Sylectus. (10+ trucks) But do a lot of reading here on EO first. Do a lot of soul searching!!!! But KNOW how you will make money. Not guesses, know...

    Hi, we're newbies.

    LOL!! If that's the case, I'm F'd!!! No, your company is based in your home state but you can deliver wherever you pay to operate. If van(s) and Sprinters you don't need to worry about single state registration to operate there. Your MC authority will suffice.

    IMHO. The carriers that went deep on yellow cubes were able to do so with not a lot of money up front. How many loads does it take to pay for a $7-$10,000 cube, assuming that's the range they were in. And when the trucks dies, "throw it away". Lower driver pay just means the ability to run...
